We are hiring!
Located in Lions Park next to the Perry Splash Pad...
Boots and Badges Blood Drive coming soon!
Noble County Commissioner Gary May and his dedicated team of volunteers are hosting their annual Independence Day fireworks show at Perry Lake. This event is made possible through generous donations collected by Gary. Gary and his crew will be stationed on the west side of the lake — an ideal vantage point for delivering a memorable display. The public is invited to attend and enjoy the show. Spectators are encouraged to gather in the designated common area located on the south side of the dam. Weather permitting, fireworks may be launched from the spillway on the north side of the dam. City crews will not be able to tend to the lake until Monday during normal working hours so it's important that all attendees clean up after themselves by using the designated dumpsters. Thank you and have a happy 4th

Typically, the cleanup day falls in line with the ODOT beautification annual trash off which takes place the third Saturday in April. However, to avoid overlapping with the Lions Club Easter event and the Springfest event, the City has opted to move the cleanup date to April 12th, 2025.
The City of Perry would like to invite you to participate in the City-Wide Clean-up 8am-11:30pm (weather permitting). This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the beautification of the City of Perry. Those that want to participate can bring items to the Perry Street Department located at 301 South 8th Street. All loose trash must be bagged for easy removal. Unmounted tires that do not exceed 14 inches wide and 60 inches overall in diameter will be accepted. Items that will NOT be accepted are brush, shingles, chemicals, liquids, paint, or contractor loads. Motor oil, hydraulic fluid, and antifreeze are accepted directly at the Convenience Center, as is yard waste, brush, and limbs. Those who have difficulty hauling items, please call 580-336-4241 to be added to the pick-up list. Updates will be posted to the City of Perry Facebook page and City of Perry app if needed.
COLD WEATHER AWARENESS TIP
When outdoor temperatures drop below freezing, water lines are susceptible to freezing, which can cause various unwanted water issues. There are preventive measures customers can take to hopefully avoid repairs and high-water bills. Even after taking preventative measures, pipes could still freeze. When water freezes, it expands, which puts pressure on your pipes and can cause them to burst. Knowing how to prevent frozen pipes and knowing how to thaw frozen pipes can save from water leaks and costly repairs. Seek help from a professional if needed.
Additionally, the City of Perry recommends customers log into the customer portal where water and electric usage can be monitored. With the portal, customers will also be able to set alarms in hopes customers can catch leaks faster. If you would like to set up your customer portal account, email portal@cityofperryok.com with your name, account number, and phone number. Instructions will be emailed back to you typically the next business day.
